What does Pyroscope do for TON blockchain optimization?

Pyroscope captures continuous CPU profiles via Alloy's eBPF, builds flame graphs to spot hotspots like SHA256 in cell deserialization — no code changes needed.

How to set up Alloy eBPF profiling for C++ apps?

Config pyroscope.ebpf in Alloy, point to your Pyroscope endpoint, run with sudo. Profiles system-wide instantly.

Did Pyroscope beat OpenSSL in TON contest?

Not directly — contestants swapped to SerenityOS SHA256 via profiling insights, netting 2% gains confirmed by flame diffs.
